How do I change the highlight color of "selected" text?

I don't want to apply formatting, I want the color that indicates selected
text to be something other than the default hard-to-notice gray.
When doing a "Find Next" in Find/Replace, the default gray highlight color
is sometimes hard to spot.

Gray? For me, it was blue by default. In Vista, you can change the
appearance of ALL selected text system-wide in control panel->appearance &
personalization->
change color theme->open classic dialog box... then select advanced, and
"selected".
In XP, it should be somewhere at desktop->right click->appearance.
At least hopefully that's what you're looking for :)
